Croatia has long been considered a jewel of the Mediterranean, consistently ranking as one of Europe’s top destinations—and it’s not hard to see why.
From the postcard-perfect villages, colourful harbours and medieval walled towns that dot the seaside; to the countless beaches, bays and islands of the country’s spectacular coastline, studded with impossibly-coloured lakes and framed by rugged limestone outcrops, caves and canyons—this is a place of rich history and outrageous natural beauty.
Croatia is superbly suited to outdoor pursuits—be it rambling through the walled hearts of ancient cities or exploring the beaches, islands and azure waters of the coast by bike or yacht.
Fall in love with the World Heritage Listed old city of Dubrovnik, “the Pearl of the Adriatic”, with its rust-coloured roofs, fortified city walls and medieval monasteries, palaces and plazas.
Explore the magnificent Kvarner Bay in the north Adriatic, sailing between beaches, bays and islands and heading ashore to cycle through harbour villages and picturesque Mediterranean landscapes; and discover the crystal-clear waters and ancient architecture of the Dalmatian Coast, spending your days island-hopping by boat or bike and your nights moored in scenic ports and quiet bays.
Our unique cycling and sailing journeys are tailored to get you deep into the heart of this stunning country. Have a browse and start planning your Croatian adventure!

Please ensure your passport is stamped on arrival in the Schengen area. For all other nationalities and for longer stays in countries covered by the Schengen Agreement (Australian New Zealand, Canadian and US passport holders), please contact the relevant embassy.
